RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
64B9-15.011: In-Service Training Requirements for Certified Nursing Assistants

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Board proposes the rule amendment to broaden the in-service training title from HIV/AIDS to Bloodborne Pathogens.

SUMMARY: The rule amendment will broaden the in-service training title from HIV/AIDS to Bloodborne Pathogens.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COST:

During discussion of the economic impact of this rule at its Board meeting, the Board, based upon the expertise and experience of its members, determined that a Statement of Estimated Regulatory Cost (SERC) was not necessary and that these rule amendments will not require ratification by the Legislature. No person or interested party submitted additional information regarding the economic impact at that time. The Board has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business, or likely increase regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within 1 year after implementation of the rule.

Any person who wishes to provide information regarding the statement of estimated costs, or to provide a proposal for a lower regulatory cost alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
